A popular Mexican chain restaurant is set to open this summer in a Raynham plaza space once occupied by Boston Market.

Chipotle Mexican Grill should be serving up its signature burritos, bowls and tacos by the end of June, according to Danielle Winslow, public relations consultant for the Denver-based company.

Winslow estimates that between 25 and 30 people will be hired to fill full- and part-time positions.

The plaza is located at 421 New State Highway where Route 44 intersects South Street West. Boston Market, formerly Boston Chicken, moved out more than a year ago.

An adjoining retail space that for years was known as Raynham Wine & Liquors remains empty — vacant since last October when owner Buddy Carp relocated across the street into the more expansive Cape Roads Crossing, a plaza whose tenants include Staples, Bob’s Stores and Taco Bell.

“I think it’s terrific,” Carp said when contacted by phone Friday.

“I think it certainly could bring us a few new customers,” he added, noting that a fair number of people from outside the immediate area will likely make the trip to sample the restaurant’s fares.

The closest Chipotle Mexican Grill to Raynham in Massachusetts is in Mansfield.

In addition to 32 locations in the Bay State, most of which are in the Boston region, Chipotle has a presence in Providence, Warwick and Cranston.

Established in 1993, Chipotle Mexican Grill employs a line system, not unlike that of Subway sandwich shop, that affords diners the chance to select specific ingredients for their taco or burrito.

Winslow described Chipotle as “a quick-service restaurant.” She also noted that the Taco Bell across the street offers a “different dining experience” than that of Chipotle, and as such is not considered to be a direct competitor.

Downtown Taunton, however, does boast a sit-down Mexican restaurant. The El Mariachi and its El Cantina bar have been a popular draw since opening in 2009.

There are now more than 1,200 Chipotle Mexican Grills in the U.S., Canada and England. The company’s first Paris restaurant is set to open later this year, Winslow said.

All of the restaurants are company-owned as opposed to being franchised. Winslow said the publicly traded company had revenue of $2.27 billion in 2011.

Chipotle Mexican Grill is know for its emphasis on natural or organic ingrediants and, when possible, purchasing produce from local farmers. It also engages in local fundraisers and sells its own line of “sustainable fashion” attire.

Rick Santos, owner of Rick’s Music World, a musical instrument store located toward the rear of the 421 New State Highway plaza, said he looks forward to the new Mexican-style eatery.

Santos said it won’t conflict with his own Rick’s Cafe, an upscale sandwich-soup-and-salad business located in his store.

“It’s obviously going to be great — it should benefit other businesses,” Santos said. “And it’s certainly good visibility for them."
